Death… And Me

Chapter 1686 Payment

Erla and Min were taken aback for a moment but immediately followed Reanʼs words. ”Wait! Rean! You canʼt leave us now!”

Habac had also received the same message, so he obviously helped in his own way. ”Stop bothering Rean, you two. He already helped you a lot. Look around you. If he wanted to, he could have hundreds of stronger demon beasts and cultivators join his group.”

Erla and Minʼs expressions turned dark after that. ”The same goes for you! You arenʼt the only one with experience, you know.”

Habac nodded, replying, ”True. However, Iʼm pretty confident in my knowledge, so I donʼt think Rean will discard me that easily. After all, I have nothing to do with this problem between you and these guys.”

Rean laughed in response. ”Hahaha! Youʼre quite selfish, arenʼt you, Habac? Well, Iʼm pretty selfish myself, so I know what that feels like. Donʼt worry. Your knowledge has been quite complete during the tests, with only a couple of points unknown. I wonʼt send you out.” Rean then looked at Erla and Min before continuing, ”As for you two, I already helped you get to the tenth test. All you need to do is complete three more tests on your own. Donʼt tell me you canʼt do at least that. Just consider it a challenge.”

”We...” Erla and Min were speechless. However, they couldnʼt come up with an answer... or so it looked on the surface.

Rean returned his attention to Fanso after that. ”You arenʼt lying about the ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones, right?”

Fanso was more than satisfied to see that his offer was accepted. ”Of course. Itʼs a high price, but one thatʼs worth it. Youʼre quite annoying to deal with according to the information we got.” He couldnʼt help but think. ʼHehe! In the end, riches are more important than any hollow friendship. Most people would give up their own mother for this amount of Rank Two Divine Stones, let alone some people they just knew for a while.ʼ

Fanso then showed the contract to Rean, saying, ”You can read it if you want.”

Rean checked the contract, although he didnʼt really care. ”Itʼs all right. Once I get to the Void Tempering Realm, Iʼll be able to remove the seal anyway. Let me sign it.” Rean cut his finger and used a drop of his blood to sign the contract. As always, the contract burnt down and put a seal on Reanʼs soul... dummy.

Rean then extended his hand after that. ”Give me the Divine Stones. According to the contract, I only have to follow it if you make the payment.”

Fanso immediately threw a spatial ring at Rean after that. ”You can check it yourself.”

After confirming that there were ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones inside, Rean smiled. ”Very good. With this, our deal is completed.” Rean immediately left Erla and Min behind once he received the stones. Habac followed in his footsteps without even looking back either.

Erla and Min seemed to have terrible expressions as they looked at Fanso. ”You donʼt think weʼll give up that easily, right?”

Fanso coldly smiled in response. ”Thatʼs up to you. However, I would consider giving up earlier than later. Erla, if you give us your heart without any struggle, we can at least guarantee the lives of your White Scaled Carp race. How about that?”

”Hmph!” Erla snorted in response. ”You wonʼt touch them even if I donʼt surrender. After all, if I pass the test and enter the Jhiod Sect, Iʼll be untouchable. Youʼll have to wait for the day I come back and will definitely need something to negotiate your own lives. Unless, of course, your Silver Horn Sturgeon race decides to flee from Terces and especially Clendes Sea.”

Fanso didnʼt deny that. ”True. However, can you pass the test with us there? Weʼll be the judge of that.”

Fanso turned around and left with his group. This time, the Silver Horn Sturgeon race was serious, as Erla could see over thirty Void Tempering Realm sturgeons in the group alone. Not to mention that there might be more of them that hadnʼt appeared. ʼThey probably didnʼt leave a single sturgeon at the Void Tempering Realm behind. Every single one of them is here... except for Blansin. I wonder if they found out about Blansinʼs lies.ʼ

At that moment, both Erla and Min were quite nervous. They wouldnʼt give up even if Rean really left. However, they saw Rean signing the contract and it activating. Since Rean wasnʼt in the Void Tempering Realm, he shouldnʼt be able to go against the contract.

Well, it was then that they received Reanʼs Divine Sense message. ʼIʼll stay away from you for now. Donʼt worry. Our badges are connected since weʼre in the same group. That means weʼll be teleported to the same place once we enter the tests.ʼ

Erla immediately answered back. ʼAre you sure you wanna do it? What if the seal kills you?ʼ

ʼSeal? What seal?ʼ Rean asked with a smile. ʼNo contract seal can do anything to me. Just trust my words and wait for the next tests.ʼ

Meanwhile, outside the Jhiod Sectʼs building, Blansin was sitting together with Tilte and the elders of the Silver Horn Sturgeon race. ”Elder, I understand why you donʼt want me to take the test. Then again, I should at least be allowed to check the main hall, no?”

Tilte shook his head, telling him, ”I know you. You arenʼt the type to give up so easily. If I let you enter the main hall, you will definitely enter the next tests to try and make up for your failures. You already got close to dying once, so that wonʼt happen again.”

”But whatʼs the point in cultivating if I canʼt even try to make up for my errors? Since when did a demon beast run away from danger?” Blansin asked, obviously unhappy.

Tilte was happy he felt like that. However, he still didnʼt let Blansin go. ”You will have a lot of danger to deal with in the future. For now, just stay here and wait for the good news from Fansoʼs group. They have three more chances to capture Erla, considering Erla will succeed in them.”
